Definitions

  • the invention pertains to a printed board connector for parallel printed boards, wherein the printed board connector consists of a first connector part and a second connector part, wherein the first connector part features a first base surface that can be fixed on a first printed board and the second connector part features a second base surface that can be fixed on a second printed board, and wherein the first connector part features a first locking element and the second connector part features a second locking element.
  • both locking elements respectively feature at least one locking arm, in that at least one integral moulding that respectively features a locking surface is provided on the end of each locking arm, and in that the locking surfaces of both locking elements are arranged such that they interengage in the locked state.
  • At least one of the two locking elements consists at least partially of an elastically deformable material.
  • the printed board connector furthermore features an unlocking element that is designed for elastically deforming at least one of the two locking elements in order to separate the locking surfaces of both locking elements from one another.
  • the unlocking element can be advantageously moved perpendicular to the first base surface on the first connector part and is connected thereto in a captive fashion, for example, by providing the unlocking element with unlocking arms that are guided through corresponding openings in the first base surface in a form-fitting but movable fashion. Due to integral mouldings on the ends of the unlocking arms, the unlocking element is connected to the first connector part in a captive fashion. It is furthermore particularly advantageous that no additional parts are required such that no hardware can be lost.
  • the moving direction of the unlocking element during the unlocking process coincides with the moving direction of the first connector part during the separation from the second connector part. This significantly improves the manual handling because the moving direction for the unlocking process and the moving direction for the separation of the connector parts are identical such that no oppositely directed force components occur.
  • FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b A second exemplary embodiment is illustrated in the drawings in FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b .
  • FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b A second exemplary embodiment is illustrated in the drawings in FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b .
  • FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b A second exemplary embodiment is illustrated in the drawings in FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b .
  • FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b A second exemplary embodiment is illustrated in the drawings in FIG. 5 a to FIG. 6 b .
  • FIG. 6 a shows a three-dimensional representation of an unlocking element
  • FIG. 1 b shows the locked printed board connector in the form of a three-dimensional exterior view.
  • the first connector part 2 is illustrated as an individual component, namely in the form of a cross section through the locking plane in FIG. 2 a and in the form of a three-dimensional exterior view in FIG. 2 b .
  • the first connector part 2 features a first locking element 5 that is realized in two pieces, namely in the form of two separate locking arms 51 , 52 with corresponding integral mouldings 53 , 54 .
  • the first locking element 5 accordingly is not identified as an individual component in the drawings.
  • the second connector part 3 is illustrated similarly in FIG. 3 a and FIG. 3 b and features a second locking element 7 that is realized in one piece.
  • the first connector part 2 ′ furthermore features an essentially U-shaped unlocking element 8 ′ that is illustrated as an individual component in FIG. 6 a .
  • This three-dimensional representation elucidates that the unlocking element 8 ′ has two plane unlocking arms 81 ′, 82 ′ that extend parallel to one another and respectively feature a rectangular window.
  • An unlocking hook 83 ′, 84 ′ with an unlocking bevel 87 ′, 88 ′ respectively is integrally moulded on the end of each unlocking arm 81 ′, 82 ′ as the lower edge of the window.
  • the unlocking arms 81 ′, 82 ′ of the unlocking element 8 ′ extend through the first base surface 4 ′ in corresponding openings as illustrated in FIG. 5 b .
